Chapter 89: Upward
Half an hour later, the landlord felt the scene.
There were still patches of white snowflakes on his shoulders and the tips of his hair, which had not yet had time to melt.
"It's snowing again?" Brother Song asked, handing over a cigarette.
"yes, it's snowing again, what the hell." The landlord, who didn't look very old, looked like he was in his early forties, took the cigarette, thanked him, lit it, and said:
"It's really, in the past, there were one or two more snows on the top of the head in the past, and it stopped very quickly, and this year...... Tsk, I heard the weather forecast that it will warm up next week, and I don't know if it's true. ”
"yes, it's cold, it's uncomfortable." Brother Song nodded in agreement, and said, "It's really too troublesome for you, it's such a cold day, and it's a big night, so I have to ask you to make such a trip." It's just that this happened......"
"It's nothing, there's a murder in my house, and I really should come and see it. I was in a daze when you called me before, and I fell asleep again after hanging up, so I'm really embarrassed. ”
"It's fine." Brother Song smiled, and after a few words, he found that the landlord was quite communicative, and he was very sensible, so his expression was a lot easier, and he asked, "Do you have any impression of the residents of this house?" ”
"Yes, it's a young man, and we often talk together."
"Oh?"
"I usually live here, too, on the top floor." The landlord stretched out his hand and pointed up, saying: "It's also very convenient to collect rent, it's close to the factory I opened, and on weekends, I will chat with a few tenants who look at each other, play cards and mahjong and the like." ”
"And where do you live now?"
"Live on the other side of Harmony Road, a well-off century." He said: "When the house was renovated, I paid for the floor heating out of my own pocket, and it was comfortable to live in winter, usually only my parents lived, they were old and weak, and it was too cold this winter, so we moved in with our family."
The house has four bedrooms and three living rooms, close to two hundred square meters, and it will not be crowded, anyway, it will live for three or four months, although it is a little far away from the factory, but compared to such a cold day...... You can also endure it. ”
The corners of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched, and tears of envy flowed into his heart.
Brother Song didn't behave the same, still smiling, and asked, "So, the residents of this room give you a pretty good impression?" ”
"Well, a very diligent young man, I pulled him to play cards, played mahjong, he can't play, and he doesn't have time to learn, all his thoughts are work." The landlord nodded: "To be honest, this kind of person is too rare these years, and I am quite impressed with him, so I chatted with him a few times." ”
"Can you elaborate on that? What does he do? ”
"That's a lot," said the landlord, "what did he study...... Mechanical automation, yes, that's what I learned, and now I work in a cigarette factory.
It's a pity, what is the situation in the cigarette factory, no matter what kind of education or major you have, when you go in, you have to work as a front-line worker in the factory first, either shredding, rolling cigarettes or packaging - this is what he told me.
Because the pit above is limited, some people have moved away to make room for space so that the people below them can continue to climb up.
How difficult is that, not to mention that there are a lot of related households, that is, those who are in the same major as him, and those who have master's and doctoral degrees are all grabbing a lot of them, God knows when it will be his turn? If I want to see it, if nothing else, he will probably have to stay at the grassroots level for the rest of his life. ”
Brother Song also knew a little about this matter, so he was not very surprised, and just asked, "Didn't he think about changing careers?" ”
"I think, why don't I want to, although the welfare package is actually good, but I'm too tired and have no hope." The landlord said: "So he said, he has been trying to find a way to take the civil service exam, but unfortunately he didn't pass the exam for two years, and he slowly gave up this thought."
Now he is teaching himself programming, taking pictures, and PS, and thinking about changing careers, while opening a branch. He doesn't buy or stock up on his own, and he uses dropshipping, which seems to be called six-eight-eight? Anyway, it's tied up, someone places an order in his store, and it will be shipped directly, and he makes a difference.
I asked him about this, and he said no problem, so why is it that 688 is the official wholesale mall for a small online store like them? Anyway, just for a while, the rules allow, he doesn't count as a basket, and he doesn't earn much in a month, a thousand yuan, just enough to pay the rent, but fortunately, it doesn't cost him much energy.
Anyway, that's it, while he is open source and reduce expenditure, while thinking about how to change careers, he has a very hard time, saying that he wants to save money, save up for a down payment to buy a house, and marry his girlfriend...... It's a pity that last month, they broke up. ”
After a pause, the landlord sighed: "What a lot of motivated young men, it's a pity...... In fact, his major is also in line with the factory I opened, and I also need such a talent......
He is actually quite unusual, but he asked me a few times, knowing that my factory is actually more manual, very little automation, he came in at most to help repair the machine, so the salary can not be higher for him, he said that the profession is not the right one, and in the end he did not come.
Well, that's pretty much it, is there anything else you guys want to know? ”
Brother Song thought about it, and after sorting out the clues he had just provided, he asked, "Do you know anything about his character?" ”
"It's very sunny and upbeat, and he has a good temper." The landlord said.
After a pause, he seemed to feel that this evaluation was a bit absolute, so he said again: "But I really can't give you a letter in this regard, I understand a little understanding, but I have only chatted a few times."
Personally, I admire this young guy, young, hardworking, self-motivated, and unwilling to accept the status quo, so in terms of evaluation, it is inevitable that it is a little subjective. I really admire him, but I don't know him that well......"
"We understand." Brother Song bowed his head and asked again: "Then do you know who he has had a conflict with, or offended someone?" ”
"I don't know, he didn't say it."
"You just said he has a girlfriend, didn't you?"
"yes, yes."
"Do you live together?"
"No, they're out of town." The landlord shook his head: "I've met once, I took it home for dinner, and I'm not sure if there was a piece for the night that night, anyway, I didn't see anyone again the next day." I didn't ask, it's not easy to ask about this kind of thing, just ask what so much is going on. ”
Brother Song nodded again, thought for a while, and asked again, "Do you know his friends?" ”
"Meet one."
"Oh?" Brother Song was a little surprised, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect the landlord to really know him.
I only heard him say, "I met when I was playing." At that time, I asked him if he wanted to play, and he said no, but his friend was there, it seemed to be his college classmate, and he said that he wanted to play, and after coming and going, he got to know each other. ”
